Re: BT Blocking sites

I was experimenting last night with a site I've visited a few times in the past and found I can no longer access it. It times out with the error;

--
Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.

If I use a vpn addon I have for my browser then I reach the site no problems.

Though I'm not using the default BT DNS server I am using one of their additional dns servers.

Re: BT Blocking sites

A couple of other links - certainly XXX rated work on both of those too.

If they had blocking turned on then I would have thought that Hot Spots (Openzone) where anyone can access a site in a public place would have been affected. The Business service - don't know although I would have though it would be excluded.

Re: BT Blocking sites

I did have that problem earlier this year. The parental controls had been turned on(logged into my account and the parental controls showed as off/not activated) - eventually the guys/girls on the BTcare twitter team did acknowledge that due to a system error (software update) some peoples accounts had been updated even though it didn't show on their accounts. This might be the same issue?
